Protecting Children's Teeth with Sealants and Fluoride
Preventive treatments can give children's teeth extra protection during cavity-prone years.
Why back teeth need help
Molars have grooves that can trap food and plaque. Sealants create a thin protective layer over these grooves, making them easier to keep clean.
How fluoride helps
Fluoride supports enamel repair and helps teeth resist acid attacks. Your dentist can recommend fluoride toothpaste, varnish, or other options based on your child's risk.
Pair treatment with habits
Sealants and fluoride work best alongside brushing, healthy snacks, and regular dental visits. They are prevention tools, not replacements for daily care.
